What is it about?

In this paper, we present a novel framework that leverages DNNs to search for "counterexamples" - scenarios where a CPS might malfunction and cause harm. This approach utilizes the power of existing adversarial attack algorithms designed for DNNs to uncover hidden safety risks.

Why is it important?

Connecting DNNs and CPS: We establish a link between falsification of safety properties in CPS and falsification of DNNs. New Framework: Our framework utilizes a DNN model of the CPS and applies DNN falsification tools to find vulnerabilities. Effective for Various Systems: While applicable to general systems, we showcase its effectiveness on CPS with both linear and non-linear dynamics. Identifying Hard-to-Find Issues: We demonstrate the ability to detect previously unknown safety risks in CPS.

Perspectives

This research can help improve the safety and reliability of CPS in various critical domains like healthcare, transportation, and automation.
